Competitive debating sharpens how I structure arguments, think on my feet and tell a convincing story — skills I use in tutoring, presenting and everyday teamwork.

BSc Plus MINT Informatics student · Minor in Business
I build software — and I enjoy explaining it, organising around it and bringing people together.
About
I am an international Computer Science student at Saarland University with a strong interest in business and communication. I came to Saarbrücken through the VSi MINT preparatory programme, where I studied mathematics, physics and German, before starting my Bachelor Plus MINT in Informatics with a minor in business administration.
Alongside my studies I have worked in many roles at the university — as a tutor, a mentor, at the Career Center, in IT support for a library and at Triathlon, the university’s centre for entrepreneurship and innovation. Through these roles and my involvement in the student council, I have gained valuable experience in teamwork, organisation, communication and problem-solving.
As a communicative and open-minded person, I enjoy working with people from diverse backgrounds and learning from different perspectives.
